Got the chicken and beef plate. Meat was very tender, portions are huge! And they gave a side of their flat bread very warm and fresh. Good quality afghan food for a decent price. I was so full after and satisfied.

Lamb was slightly dry. Mound of rice with meat is very lacking a side salad. it should be included like all the other dishes.

I've been going to this restaurant for years. The food is always great. They have a new menu item which is lamb shank and I'll try that next. I felt like tandori chicken kabob dinner, so I ordered that. There's a counter where you order your food and then grab a table and wait until they call your number. It's quite busy at times. While I was there, they made an effort to keep the garbage area clean and also the tables.

One of the food staples in the Toronto region and has been for years a must go to everytime I'm in the area. I always like to go to the first location they opened on overlea Blvd. It has been 4 years since I had Bamiyan kabob and here is my review based on my last visit on August 1st. For a party of 4, we ordered 2 sultani kabob, 1 tandoori Chicken and chicken kabob plates. The bread was OK and it did not feel fresh as I remember it. The food was delicious and the rice was cooked to perfection. The only thing that I did not like was the meat tenderloin pieces that comes with the sultai plate, the pieces were not tender and chew. Another thing that I noticed was that the tables were not cleaned right away after the customers had left and I had to stare at couple of dirty tables while eating. This place used to be immaculate before. Will try again in few months and report back with a follow up.

Tried Bamiyan Kabob, an Afghani restaurant, today. Ordered the Kofta and Barg Kabob. Both were quite delicious, well cooked; however, the Barg (fillet mignon) was not as tender as it should be. They’ve prepared the food quickly and staff were nice & friendly. Need to mention they bake Afghani bread in the house; so their complementary bread is so tasty and fresh.

Ordered the tikka kabob dinner and the tikka wrap. The dinner was good, loved the rice, but the meat was a little tough. I would not recommend the wrap at all, it was bland and not worth $10.

Unfortunately, my visit was not as enjoyable as I had hoped. The service was slow and uninterested, but the food was great however I was extremely disappointed with the staff as he said to my husband that I am his friend as she says that I am wearing my wedding ring. The atmosphere was also not as pleasant. In either case: I believe that addressing these issues could greatly improve the overall experience for future customers. I recommend the food but not the staff was rude luck of knowledge to judge people right the way either husband or wife nor boyfriend or girlfriend. This is only the reason I gave 2starts .

The meat was perfect, and the half chicken kabab was soo nice we loved the seasoning, it was perfectly seasoned. The pulav was great as well, you can eat as it is without any sides. Their mango smoothie was good but not great, maybe because I’m not a smoothie person so try it out if u are a smoothie person!! It’s made out of fresh mangoes. Must try- pulav and half chicken kabob

The food didn t have enough salt and the meat was very dry. I ve tried better from other places. There was an old lady who was watching the workers, and I asked her for an extra red sauce because she was in the front and she rudely answered that I have to pay, it s not free. She had lots of attitude on her face. The red sauces weren t even filled to the top. Very poorly managed place.

I visited this Restaurant today around 8pm. While the food was satisfactory, I was disappointed to find that they only provided a very small portion of hot sauce (chatni), which was barely enough for the meal. When I politely requested an extra serving from the cashier, an elderly lady, who seemed to be supervising, intervened and prevented the cashier from accommodating my request. Despite spending over $150 with my family, I was surprised to encounter such reluctance over a small condiment, which left a negative impression.

As a loyal and dedicated customer for over 10 years, I am disappointed to say that this establishment is not as good as it used to be. The portions of rice now exceed the amount of meat, and the sauce containers are no longer filled to the brim. They now charge extra for a bit more sauce, and the employees are quite rude, failing to greet customers politely. I will no longer be eating here.

Update: quality has gone down, not what it used to be. Its become a standard of going to the school cafeteria! Love coming to Bamiyan, great place for yummy Afghani kabob dinners. Id recommend the Chaplee, Kofta, Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Breast or Sultani kabob dinners. Id also offer a suggestion that if you like to have shredded carrots and raisins in your rice, order the kabeli pilau separate. When you order your kabobs, dont order the dinner, order the salad and naan plate instead. If youre not a fan of raisins and carrots in your rice, fully disregard this suggestion. Also, a side note, as someone who had the Choppan kabob yesterday, I really would recommend avoiding this option. The lamb is slightly bland, and tiny pieces! I was expecting a much bigger portion for a higher cost to step up to lamb! Incredibly disappointing. It wont hinder me from returning, however I would never order the Choppan even if it was half price. Stick with the chicken or beef kabobs, youll be glad you did.

I really have no idea what happened to this restaurant in recent years. Back a few years before COVID, Bamiyan was my go-to Afghan restaurant. Now? Its become a sad shell of what once was a great restaurant. An overpriced menu, decent customer service and a comfortable atmosphere would give this restaurant a 3 star review. But I didnt even mention what the food has become. I just ordered the Sultani Kebab for the first time in a while, and I am utterly disappointed. The rice had a weird smell and was a bit crunchy, the sauces are obviously old, and I swear on my mothers life that the meat on the inside was rotten. I hope that someone at Bamiyan picks up on this and returns the restaurant to its former glory, because if not I wouldnt be surprised if this location dies in a couple years.

You can really see the decline of this location. Its no longer a national treasure. Staff seemed very upset to be there. No staff were happy. No one smiled, even when I smiled handing them my cash. My chicken needed more cooking. The sauce they used was granular...the taste has really declined. Veggies were not fresh. Maybe I just got bad stock on that day. Maybe the cook was having a bad day...I would suggest you steer clear. Maybe hit another location? Overlea location is not what it used to be. I am so sad to post this as I have been a loyal customer for years.

Food for the price is OK, but I wouldnt dine-in as its not very clean. I had a fly try to get into my drink, and it was annoying to have to swat the fly away while trying to eat. I ordered the Waziri-Style Dinner, with full rice; the rice and meat was okay, but the naan that came with it was cold to the touch. I asked if I could get fresh naan instead and at first they told me that it was fresh, but after I got them to the feel the naan for themselves, they brought out a replacement one which was hot. Took a bit of effort, but I was eventually able to have a halfway-decent dining experiance.

I have been a loyal customer of Bamiyan Kabob for years, and its one of my favorite restaurants in the GTA. This location, situated in the Thorncliffe Park area and close to downtown, always delivers great quality food at reasonable prices. One of the things I appreciate about Bamiyan Kabob is that they dont advertise their food in any channel, and yet they have a chain of restaurants in the GTA. Its like a hidden gem that only those who know about it can enjoy. However, I do have a few recommendations for this particular location. The menu is not very clear, unlike other restaurants, and it would be helpful if they had clear pictures of dishes and prices. A take-out menu in paper format would also be helpful, especially for customers who are not familiar with Afghan cuisine and the names of the dishes. A small TV with a slide show of the dishes and prices could also be a useful addition. Another suggestion would be to have a bigger storage place for dirty dishes, as the place is quite small and can become cluttered quickly. Overall, I would highly recommend Bamiyan Kabob to anyone looking for great Afghan food in the GTA. The quality is always good, the prices are reasonable, and the location is conveniently located. This restaurant deserves attention from other cultures in this multicultural city, and I hope they will continue to improve and add all the qualities of a great restaurant.

After this guy s respond to me on the phone I got so mad I was going to go to the restaurant to talk to management. I was going to give order for my guests I called in and a guy picked up the phone, he kept telling me he can t hear me and I had to order quickly he didn t have time to either confirm what I am saying or to repeat because he had many customers and he don t have time to listen my order. I guess this what happens after you get quite a bit customers and you don t need extra one. Found it so rude and unprofessional. Because of this guy this restaurant lost a customer not just one but will be quite a bit, I will be telling my family and friends not to go and eat in this restaurant ever again. Restaurant without proper customer service doesn t deserve a penny I am sorry .

December 22, 2023

I have been a BAMIYAN customer for years at Markham. I was visiting friends in the Scarborough so decided to pickup food from this location. I ordered 5 half chicken dinners and 5 chopan kababs and paid about 150 bucks. While the half chicken was good as usual , some of the chopan kabab pieces smelled bad and clearly they were not edible. They should never have given me meat that was not edible anymore. To make it worse they packed all 5 chopan skewers together so we had to throw all of it. I tried one bite and felt like throwing up. It is shameful and crime to have a customer pay for rotten food , you risked our health and spoiled our weekend.

The food quality at the Overlea location has severely declined. Today, I ordered half chicken, but it was completely burned and the meat seemed old, just like my previous experiences there. Despite specifically requesting fresh and not burnt meat, it was disappointing to find that my request was not met. The meat pieces were even unrecognizable, resembling a bird more than chicken. This visit was the final straw, and I have decided not to return to the Overlea location ever again.

This is a small location with just enough room to dine in when it is not too busy. There is not much to say in terms of atmosphere and service. Basically, you order at the register, find yourself a table, wait until they call you and you bring the food yourself. We tried the SULTANI KABOB, the TANDOORI CHICKEN KABOB, which included salad and naan, and the MANGO SMOOTHIE. In general, the food was actually good and the portion-price ratio was reasonable.

Food not like before. Meat tastes old and not fresh.

Good taste, a little congested for seating and fair self service. Parking: Give it a try once, it has a different taste to it. Kid-friendliness: Our kids high chair was blocking other customers, which was a bit of an embarrassment.

We love their food. Specially their rice. I find the rice served at every other afghan place to be dry but not this place . Well I like everything that they serve .

This place is gross..I walked in today and ordered 3 plates for me and my family...waited about 10mins for food and then sat down and got my food not only to see the chicken leg I had ordered the drumstick part looked like a piece was bitten off...we showed the staff member who worked in the front end and he didnt really care he just laughed it off then he asked if we wanted to speak to the manager...so I said yes the manager came along not really friendly or caring we explained the situation that the half chicken meal the drumstick part of the chicken looks deformed as if someone had taken a bite of it and just served it to us...this chicken was suppose to be for my kids and I would never feed my kids that or anyone else..anyhow the manager said he would feed his kids it and laughed like a big jackass and walked away not solving the issue..I got upset and went back for a refund while the other staff members looked at me and laughed and smiled not willing to help me out and make another plate for my kids..I go to other bamiyan...they have such great service and its actually clean not like this one..dirty floors tables..spraying bleach on tables when kids are about to eat.. dirty highchair and ...someone should call the health inspector and get this location shut down..honestly not even worth the money your paying for a decent meal..GROSSSS someone should train these ppl how to run a business and be clean and professional to customers..barf shut this place down.

The food was pretty good but the servicing was awful, the name is Bamyan kabob but you barely see afghan staffs there. The lady on the counter who took our order didn t clearly specify about the food as we ordered just babab and then when we received was all rice with few kabobs on it, we requested for a change but she behaved rudely while she didn t let us know about food and i had to order again.

Food was okay. Ordered the dinner, but the kabab was overcooked and tough. The sauces were not too tasty either like they used to be. Service could have been better too I think.

Very disappointed by the types of servers Bamiyan is hiring these days. The server barked at us without any form of provocation. She was extremely rude and we didnt see the manager intervene. I am still not sure what our fault was. We left without making a scene because we did not want this to escalate or waste our time. It looks like other people have the same complaints about servers at this location. I tried to email their head office but the email address does not work.

I have tried a lot of Afghan food, This is the tastiest afghan food around. Their half chicken dinner is unique in taste. I havent tasted anything similar anywhere else. Enjoy Food : 5/5 |

I love Bamiyan Kabob (particularly the one on Don Mills and Overlea) the food is always fresh and delicious, staff are friendly and polite. The kofa kabob dinner is my favourite things. I really wish they would be available on Uber eats so I can order it when I m unable to go to the restaurant. This way I can order at home or work. Vegetarian options: Grilled salmon, salads, rice Dietary restrictions: Ask and they will try to accommodate Parking: Free parking but often busy Kid-friendliness: This is a family restaurant so yes kids are welcomed and are often there. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes as there are no stairs

Food is always delicious - authentic Afghan cooking. Always busy meaning food is fresh too. For eating in atmosphere is like a cafeteria - quite bright and crowded with tray service from the counter. We are repeat customers who mostly get take-out. Vegetarian options: Quite meat centric. They do offer a veggie kabob but with no protein such as tofu. For pescaterians they offer a salmon dish.

Go-to spot for afghan food. Well priced and portions are great. Usually takes about 10-15 mins for food to be prepped.

Lamp shank is the best in town. Seating at the Thorncliffe one is limited but I guess they cant do much about that.
